great place for a family holiday
we wanted a place for our adult children to join us for a holiday. this place was fantastic for the following reasons- great central location, generous spaces for all of us and two living rooms and two bathrooms - really helpful for the six adults in our party. house is very well stocked with everything you could need and has space for dining and relaxing both inside and outside. Beds and couches are very comfortable and this property is an easy walk to shops , river and beach. communication with the host was excellent and entry to the property simple. This is a warm, comfortable holiday property with ample space to relax while exploring all the area has to offer.

A home away from home.
This holiday house was the absolute best! The 4 bedrooms gave the kids the space to chill out after spending too much family time together. The beach was so close you could hear it. Two living areas meant that the kids could play the Switch while I watched movies. The beds were comfortable, and the bedrooms were clean. Two toilets with so many bums in one house were very convenient. The location of the house was prime position, close to shops, Coles and the RSL (which had amazing meals and family friendly). The variety of games, books and DVDs was amazing. Even introduced the kids to some older board games which I hadn't seen in years. The main living room had plenty of space for us all to have a movie night and the couches comfortable. The outdoor area was secure for our dog and the fake grass was awesome for the kids to play barefoot. This whole week was fantastic and I will definitely be booking again in the future.

Our Second Stay
This is the 2nd time we have stayed at this property and not only is the location ideal being close to the surf beach and main shopping strip but the property is ideal for a larger family and it is set back with a private yard where you can securely park multiple vehicles and has plenty of space for our furry friend to run around in.
